I will admit it – this isn’t my favorite card. And it doesn’t help that I couldn’t get it to photograph well. LOL – how is that for honest?! But I love the technique and I hope Colin’s new teacher enjoys the card.

In my last video, I showed how to create colorful glitter die cuts. However, I know many of us don’t have a ton of different colors of glitter. This video shows how to totally fake it by using colored cardstock behind clear, sparkly glitter.

Gorgeous card, Jennifer! Love the sparkly apple and the great technique to have glitter in any colour! Can’t wait to try this when I get home from work tonight! Love the way you created the banner sentiment too! Thanks for the great video:)

You always share such useful great tips in you’re video’s and I appreciate it. Beautiful card.
I love the background and the glitter. I keep you’re videos on my Pinterest so I can refer back for help. I’m sure his teacher will adore this card.

Love this! Several helpful tips like the floating banner and heat embossing the glitter. But the items you feature quickly sell out. Will your affiliate code still work when they come back in stock? I’ll try to remember to link back through it.

I agree with you…this doesn’t fit your usual style but that’s what is so good about it. I love the boldness. It’s great to have this fall back technique but I think I would use glitter paper because they are so nice now, no falling off glitter…thank you for the tips.

Jennifer, I am a long time reader of your blog and watcher of all your videos but never a commenter. Tsk, tsk. Today I just felt the need to say Thank You . Thank you for your generous sharing of your time and talent. Thank you for keeping me excited to make cards to share with family and friends. Thank you for not insisting we use certain products but assuring us it’s OK to use what we have on hand. Thank you for explaining things in such a way that I “get it” the first time. You are in my opinion one of the sweetest, kindest , and most generous people in this industry. I should have said Thank You long ago but no matter when I say it I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

I loved that banner trick and can’t wait to try it. I LOVE glitter and even sent home some with my firsties on meet the teacher day. Teachers call it jitter glitter! The kids put it under their pillow the night before the first day of school. On Tuesday I’ll read First Day Jitters. I may even stick a little to my face;) Thanks for another great video! Happy New School Year!
